Well there are too many cases like that lah, no surprise when comes to money & business dealings.
Last time for me was even much worse than your case. I already agreed on a price of a condo and have even paid the deposit! Then the bloody lady owner refused to sign the acceptance and changed her mind to raise the price cuz some other bugger gave higher offer later! Hence the deal was off! Well at least i got my deposit back, but what a hassle & fxxking waste of my time!
